Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 155 Zhu Biao: Is the Fourth Master my grandfather?
Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma prepared a sumptuous meal to see Zhu Biao off because he was going to Fengyang tomorrow.

There were only Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao at the dinner table.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment and said: "In ancient times, the sons of emperors were born with generous salaries and long-term positions. The reason why they respected others was because they knew the hardships of living and being able to sympathize with their sufferings. Gaozong of Shang Dynasty , This is how King Cheng of Zhou enjoyed his kingdom for a long time. Now you have grown rich and noble, and are accustomed to feasting. Now when you go out, you see the saddle horses working hard, the beautiful mountains and rivers, and the dangers of the road. You stopped your banquet, and you know the hard work of the saddle horses. . Observe the livelihood and livelihood of the people, in order to know the difficulties of food and clothing, observe the likes and dislikes of the people, in order to know the beauty and evil of the customs."

Zhu Biao bowed his head respectfully, listened, and nodded in agreement: "My father's teachings, I will keep them in mind."

Queen Ma looked at the father and son with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness. However, she did not forget to tease Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty is very elegant today, but there is no need to drop your book bag too much in front of Biao'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son and smiled with satisfaction: "Biao'er, when you arrive in Fengyang, you must take the initiative to visit your father and fellow villagers, and you must be humble."

Zhu Biao nodded seriously and wrote them down one by one.

The family of three ate and chatted. After drinking three glasses of wine, Zhu Yuanzhang put down his glass and looked at Queen Ma, who nodded slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Biao and said in a deep voice: "Biao'er, I have to tell you something. This is the most important thing when you go to Fengyang this time."

"Biao'er." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "Do you know why we respect Fourth Master Zhu so much? Why are we not angry or punished when he insults us?"

Zhu Biao blinked: "Because he was right."

"This... how is this possible?" Zhu Biao looked incredulous, "Grandpa... hasn't he been dead for decades?"

Zhu Biao opened his mouth in shock and couldn't believe his ears.

"Let me tell you in detail." Zhu Yuanzhang said while taking a sip of wine.

Late at night, when Zhu Biao walked out of Kunning Palace, he was still in shock.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma in disbelief, their eyes were full of confusion, doubt and deep consternation. The grandfather he had known since he was a child and had been dead for decades suddenly became the Fourth Master Zhu in his father's mouth. This change was too huge.

So, he started talking about burying his father when he was a child, and talked for a full hour.

Zhu Biao: "???"

Seeing the serious expressions on his father's and mother's faces, he wondered in his heart, this time he returned to Fengyang, firstly to worship his ancestors, and secondly, wasn't it to investigate the nobles' occupation of the common people's property? What could be more important than this?

He thought his father was joking, but he saw that both his father and mother had serious expressions on their faces.

Fourth Master Zhu, turns out to be my grandfather.

Queen Ma chuckled at the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave another detailed explanation to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

"For now, you should pretend not to know." Empress Ma sighed slightly, "I hope Fourth Master Zhu can recover as soon as possible."

"My son, I understand." Zhu Biao nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glared at Queen Ma, regained his serious expression and said, "Because Fourth Master Zhu is our father, that is, your grandfather."

"So it would be best if Fourth Master Zhu can recover his memory during this ancestor worship." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, "Biao'er, you should pay attention to him along the way."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Biao was surprised.

His entire face was stiff, his breathing seemed to have stopped, and his heart was beating loudly in his chest, so loud that he could hear it.

……

Inside the Huitong Hall, the night is getting darker and the breeze is blowing.

Wu Yu stood quietly by the window, the moonlight falling on her waterfall-like hair, gently fluttering in the wind. She was wearing a tulle dress, her fair skin looming, and her slender legs looked even more flawless in the moonlight.

Ao Gu slowly approached, her eyes wandered over Wu Yu, and she was secretly praising him. The figure of the Witch Queen is graceful and graceful, no less than that of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Who would have thought that this beautiful woman is already over a hundred years old?
"Queen Wu," Aogu frowned slightly and broke the silence, "Prince Zhu Biao will leave for Fengyang tomorrow. According to the news we have received, Fourth Master Zhu will also accompany him, and he will also bring His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Hearing this, Wu Yu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "That's just right, I can cast a spell on Zhu Biao on the way. Once completed, I will directly take the eldest princess back to the grassland."

A trace of worry flashed in Ao Gu's eyes: "Witch Queen, Fourth Master Zhu is cunning and cruel, you must be careful."

Wu Yu smiled confidently: "Don't worry, both Zhebie and Poison King will work with me. The three of us will definitely be able to complete the task together. Do you know how Chang Yuchun died?"

Ao Gu nodded, a sharp light flashing in her eyes. She is well aware of Wu Yu's strength and methods, and believes that she can successfully complete the task.

Wu Yu turned to look at Ao Gu and said in a deep voice: "You continue to lurk in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and pay close attention to the court's movements. One day, we, the Yuan Dynasty, will take over the Central Plains again and regain their former glory."

Ao Gu nodded heavily, her eyes full of expectation and determination.

"Oh, this prosperous Central Plains is better." Wu Yu sighed softly, looking at Yingtian City in the night. Although the grassland is vast, in terms of prosperity, it cannot be compared with the Central Plains.

……

The next morning, the sun shines through the thin clouds onto the earth.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao's car drove slowly out of the capital. Thousands of imperial troops accompanying him were waiting in strict formation. Tang Shengzong, the governor-general who led the army, was even more powerful in military uniform.

Fourth Master Zhu and Zhao Xuanzhen were also riding in an exquisite carriage in the team. As the team moved forward, they quickly disappeared from the sight of everyone in the capital.

Although it has entered autumn, the sunshine during the day is still as hot as fire, shining golden on the earth.

The convoy was not moving very fast. Zhu Biao was sitting in the car and saw the soldiers sweating profusely through the curtains. He immediately ordered them to rest for a while by a nearby river so that the soldiers could breathe.

Fourth Master Zhu got out of the car to fetch water for Zhao Xuanzhen.

Zhu Biao by the river invited him for a walk, and the two of them strolled along the field ridge. Surrounded by patches of golden rice fields, the rice has turned slightly yellow, and some farmers are busy in the fields.

As Zhu Biao walked and looked around, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Everywhere in the capital is blue bricks, green tiles, and high-rise buildings, but just a short distance away, there is not a single tile in the houses of ordinary people."

Hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu smiled faintly: "This is pretty good. At least they still have a house to live in and a place to protect themselves from the wind and rain. In this world, there are still many people who don't even have such a house, so they can only Living on the streets, living in the open.”

As the two of them talked, they came to a pavilion. There was no wind at the moment, the sun was shining directly down, and it was unbearably hot inside the pavilion. After the two sat down, they felt sweat flowing down their foreheads.

Zhu Biao looked at the people who were still working in the scorching sun and frowned slightly:
"My father often told us about the difficulty of farming. It's really hard to understand if we don't go out for a walk. I only took a few steps and the heat became unbearable. People still have to work in the fields under such a strong sun."

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I can't see these things when I look at the excerpts in the Wenhua Hall."

Fourth Master Zhu chewed a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, spread his hands and smiled: "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Zhu Biao nodded seriously and his eyes became heavy: "Father often said that when the world is first settled, the people are all financially strapped. They are like a bird that has just taken flight. You cannot pluck out its feathers. A newly planted tree cannot shake its foundation. Ming Dynasty. , is still very fragile, but some people are in a hurry to enjoy the blessings."

Fourth Master Zhu had a smile on his face.

He knew that Zhu Biao's trip to Fengyang this time was actually for honoring the nobles and breaking the law.

"Fourth Master, please give me more guidance along the way." Zhu Biao bowed respectfully to Fourth Master Zhu.

"Your Highness, don't be so polite." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand quickly.

Zhu Biao looked at Fourth Master Zhu in front of him with gentle eyes.

This is my grandfather. It’s great that he is still alive.

……

After resting for a while, the team continued to set off.

Fourth Master Zhu got into the carriage with a water bag, and Zhao Xuanzhen was in the carriage with her eyes closed and concentrating.

She was wearing a light cyan dress, as fresh and refined as a willow in early spring. He raised his beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, and opened his red lips slightly: "Pour some water out. I want to wipe my face with clean water. The weather is really sultry."

Fourth Master Zhu tilted the water bag as instructed, and a cool stream of water slowly flowed out. Zhao Xuanzhen stretched out her slender jade-like fingers, lightly caught the trickling stream, and then gently brushed it across her fair and jade-like face.

The water droplets left a thin layer of mist on her face, making her skin appear more delicate and rosy. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her moist eyes were filled with sparkles, and her red lips were slightly parted, revealing an indescribable charm.

Seeing this, Fourth Master Zhu felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart. He threw away the water bag and suddenly hugged Zhao Xuanzhen tightly into his arms.

"You, don't do this..." Zhao Xuanzhen was startled by the sudden move, her beautiful eyes widened, and a shy blush appeared on her face.

"What? Don't you want to play something exciting?" A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Zhu's mouth, with a provocative light shining in his eyes.

"No, it can't be done... It can't be done here..." Zhao Xuanzhen struggled in a panic, her voice trembling.

However, her resistance seemed so weak in front of Fourth Master Zhu's enthusiasm. He kissed her without hesitation, swallowing up all her rejection and hesitation in the passionate kiss.

Zhao Xuanzhen struggled for a few times, then stretched out her fair arms to hook around Master Zhu's neck and responded.

Before long, the two carriages were obviously vibrating more violently than the other carriages.

After shaking for a long distance, it finally slowed down. Zhao Xuanzhen in the car leaned in Master Zhu's arms, biting her lips for fear of making a sound.

"Isn't it exciting?" Fourth Master Zhu raised his eyebrows.

"Disgusting!" Zhao Xuanzhen glared at him angrily, the blush on her face getting a little thicker. She opened her small mouth and bit down on his neck.

Snapped!
Fourth Master Zhu slapped her on the buttocks and said angrily, "Hey, you murdered your husband."
